The crew of a cargo ship carrying 3,000 vehicles to Mexico, including 800 electric vehicles, abandoned ship after they could not control a fire aboard the vessel in waters off Alaska’s Aleutian island chain.

All 22 crew members were safely evacuated from the vessel sailing from China to Mexico after struggling to contain the fire.
